The modern electron microscope, as a result of recent revolutionary
developments and many evolutionary ones, now yields a wealth of
quantitative knowledge pertaining to structure, dynamics, and
function barely matched by any other single scientific instrument.
It is also poised to contribute much new spatially-resolved and
time-resolved insights of central importance in the exploration of
most aspects of condensed matter, ranging from the physical to the
biological sciences.Whereas in all conventional EM methods,
imaging, diffraction, and chemical analyses have been conducted in
a static - time-integrated - manner, now it has become possible to
unite the time domain with the spatial one, thereby creating
four-dimensional (4D) electron microscopy. This advance is based on
the fundamental concept of timed, coherent single-electron packets,
or electron pulses, which are liberated with femtosecond durations.
Structural phase transitions, mechanical deformations, and the
embryonic stages of melting and crystallization are examples of
phenomena that can now be imaged in unprecedented structural detail
with high spatial resolution, and ten orders of magnitude as fast
as hitherto.No monograph in existence attempts to cover the
revolutionary dimensions that EM in its various modes of operation
nowadays makes possible. The authors of this book chart these
developments, and also compare the merits of coherent electron
waves with those of synchrotron radiation. They judge it prudent to
recall some important basic procedural and theoretical aspects of
imaging and diffraction so that the reader may better comprehend
the significance of the new vistas and applications now afoot.This
book is not a vade mecum - numerous other texts are available for
the practitioner for that purpose. It is instead an in-depth expose
of the paradigm concepts and the developed techniques that can now
be executed to gain new knowledge in the entire domain of
biological and physical science, and in the four dimensions of
space and time.
